I think the current behavior is:

- No text caret at all
- We can select text by mouse dragging
- We can't change text caret position and text selection by keyboard.
- We can copy the selected text by context menu or Ctrl-C (⌘-C)
- We can't paste text into it because it's read-only.

stevec1337@, are they what you see?

No response.  I assume this is a dupe of Issue 663.
